Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: devscripts

Using licensecheck on xine-ui sources, it reports as UNKNOWN the license
for the strlcat.c file that I took from OpenBSD sources. The license
header is as following:

/*
 * Copyright (c) 1998 Todd C. Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 *
 * Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for any
 * purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above

 * WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN
 * ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF
 * OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
 */

The license is a simple as-is license that is derived from the Internet
Software Consortium license (ISC).

** Affects: devscripts (Ubuntu)
